Reading an ebook and a chapter mentions popular music playing in the background. Wouldn't it be a good idea if the music (real only?) mentioned in any ebook was played at a very low volume, almost out of earshot? Optional of course. I think the same method could be applied to other scene media? TV, Cinema, opera, traffic even(?) etc.

Maybe it's the Grants but I like this idea. I'm almost certain that someones gonna say "There's an app for that".

Since pretty much every other person in the entire world seems to be reading them (based on my highly scientific survey in which I look at what people on my commute are reading and filter out everything that's different) I decided I might as well give the Song of Ice and Fire books a try.

Enjoying so far, but it's a little hard to judge since I already know the story from the TV adaptation.

I'm enjoying it but at about a third of the way through it's been pretty slow going.

Yeah, I enjoyed TTSS, but I'm a little confused by the praise it gets. It's a good book, but I don't think it has the depth to justify its pacing. Le Carre's other classic, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, is a lot snappier.

I've decided to crack open Brett 'Hitman' Hart's wrestling biography again. It's tough watching user reviews attach their bias to what is clearly a very straight and honest book, filled with the magical and heart-wrenching moments which accompany such an interesting life.
